Have there been any pics released of the official car dock for Droid X? Or any other Droid X-specific car docks?
There have been. There were videos as well. I cannot remember where though. I want to know how it knows when it is plugged in and if this could be replicated so that I can use a cheaper dock...
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=droid+x+car+dock
lol at navychief52 I didn't know such a thing, i'm going to use it all the time now.
But yes it can be replicated, here's the new feature though that you loose by using a generic car dock. It has a built in charging port, which means you can just slide your phone into the dock and not have to wire up a charger to it too.
as for the part where you put it in and it automatically starts up the car app, all you need is a magnet, atleast thats how i found the last droid docks worked. I don't know what strength it has to be for it's magnetic sensor to trigger the app, but I don't think it has to be very powerful at all. But I would glue that to the back of your generic car dock and you should be good to go. I know thats what I'll be doing.

Ah thanks for that! I figured it would just be a magnet but wasn't sure. If I could find a dock with a nice beefy arm like the oem car dock then I would just use that. So far the only kind that I find are the ones that have a long bendable metal tube. Need something with more strength... To be fair I have not been looking too hard core yet.
I just do not like the idea of buying a dock for a device that I will probably not have a year later...
Besides the Droid X being unveiled today in New York, this car dock made an appearance as well.
can you keep the line in audio plug plugged into the car dock or do you need to plug it in manually to the phone everytime? I use a line in plug
I've looked at everything, but I cannot find an answer to this.

It has a cable loom on the car dock for the wire however it goes into the phone.
Only the USB goes to the dock.
They really need to figure out a pass through or something for these things.
At least the dock is very solid and easy to use. But agreed, would have been nice to plug jack into dock and dock have attached short cable to go into phone. So even if you have to plug every time, it is made easier.
Looks like I'll just get this bluetooth adapter for my car instead.

Anyone know of something similar that plugs into an aux line like this one? I might get this, but I'm open to different stuff if it's better.

just ordered this: https://www.wiredforless.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SOUNDM2
when you check out, use the coupon code: WOOT for $20 off ($9.99 total including shipping)
can't beat that price and it looks like a pretty solid car dock. first review mentions that it is good with the Droid X.
thanks for the heads up! it looks pretty good! however, im concerned with the adhesive disk that is applied to our devices.... does it stick out... and would it affect cases and other things etc...
i honestly am not sure, but i ordered a ****ty $1 silicone case from ebay that i'll be using with the mount haha.
Silcon isn't that the soft cases? i'm not sure that would hold my phone tight enough, i drive a truck so there is lots of bouncing around. I think i'm gonna buy a cheep belt clip case, that way i can just clip the phone in and out.
so my mount came in literally 2 days after i ordered. ridiculously fast shipping; they must be located nearby. haven't installed yet but it's pretty small and unobtrusive. seems like a good buy thus far. the discs that stick to the back of your device (comes with 2) are a lot skinnier than i thought they would be. might just put it on my normal everyday case. i don't think i'll run into problems slipping it in and out of my project with the disc on the back.
I've ordered mine as well as ordering a cheep belt clip so i can snap it in and out. Too me the twisting motion (while awesome for the secure locking) seems a bit much for my lifestyle of always jumping in and out of my car.
Ill probably use the 2nd disc on the same clip so i can have landscape and portrait

Just ordered one myself. For $10 shipped, I figured I might as well give it a shot.
I got my "Slip Grip" mount in the mail today and for the $20 bucks it cost it is very much worth it.
The mount is VERY sturdy, seller shipped it same day too!! Check it out!
Only downside is it is just a mount, it doesn't have any plugs for power n such, but does leave all of the ports available if you had like a car charger or AUX cable running while it is in there.
Got the car mount from vzw today have to say it is bulkier than my Droid 1 mount, but that is expected with this phone. Looks good on the dash mount in an F250.

Did any of you guys who already received your phone pick up the car dock? It looks pretty nice and I love using a dock for nav and using w/bt kit on longer drives. AT&T carries the official Moto Atrix car dock and I was hoping for a review if anyone has used it.

Well from all of the videos that I have seen of it. It truly looks like a worth while side purchase. It charges your phone and auto launches the map. Thats enough for me to be sold.
I picked the car dock up when I got my phone this morning. It's really nice. As soon as it docks it comes up with a custom driver's view. You can add apps and contacts which is sweet. Nav works great and the voice control worked really well. I tapped it and told it to send a text with the content and it was flawless. I only had to press a large send button. I'm gonna like it.
Oh, I'm sure everyone probably knows but it does have power and will charge your phone while docked.
well those geniuses at AT&T said this doesn't exist when i picked up my phone this morning. I guess i'll be trying another store until i can get ahold of one. They only had the laptop and webtop docks there.
Didn't pay attn to it when asked if I wanted it at check out. Should have checked it out. But if no bootloAder in 30 days. This is going back anyway

I really like this car mount. It has integrated audio out that works perfectly with my Aux connection. I just wish I could adjust the volume before the sound hits my car audio system. I've already turned up the media volume on the phone itself, but I still need to crank up the volume on the car audio and it causes hissing sounds when I accelerate.
I wanted to get it but it doesn't get held in very well with the feather case so I passes

Did you try it with the insert that comes with it? The phone without a case is held in very firmly so a feather case should make it a tighter fit. Without the insert you can use a regular case.
i ordered one with the laptop dock and phone, but AT&T still hasnt shipped the car dock.

yeah i tried without the insert. on the feather case, the usb plugs in on the bottom, but the top clip part doesnt extend far enough out to grip the edge anymore.
with the speck case which i also tried, it was too thick to even allow the USB to fit.
I bought the dock in-store today, and I must say it is very nice. There is an insert to use or not use depending on if you have a case on your phone, which is a great idea. The phone fits easily, and the car app loads extremely quick. It is wonderful you can move around the quick load apps, and the extra cables that plugin to your stereo if needed was a nice bonus. I already added shortcuts for Google nav, and will add other useful car apps as well. It is a worthy purchase if you like having a GPS with you or a dock while you play music in your car.
Can someone help me verify that the cam corder can be activated while in car dock and that the dock does not block the view?
Would love to be able to use the phone as a car camcorder on tracks or canyons Hack, we might be able to do something like the contour gps

I don't have to do anything special to get the car app to pop up right? Because when I plug mine in, it does nothing. The audio doesn't even go through the cable.
I have the car dock as well, works flawlessly with the body glove case.

Bought the car dock so I would force myself to stop from texting and driving. But my scion XB dash is to far to even use it safely.
How about with an OtterBox
I like to use an OtterBox on my devices.
Is there any chance the Car Dock will work with an OtterBox?
If not, are these any cases that will work with the car dock?
Same question for the MultiMedia dock, but I will ask in another thread too.

You have to apply power to the USB port for it to start. Once you apply power, you can remove it and the phone will stay in dock mode till you pull it out.
EDIT: Which is awesome cause motorola didn't give you a DC/USB converter. I had one already that I used.
lol no. otterbox is way to big to use with any dock. the only case i know that works with the car dock is the body glove. the feather might work too but its too thin to be considered a case(might as well get an invisashield.
My phone sits by my computer most of the time, and with my HTC Mogul, then HTC Touch Pro, then EVO 4G I've bought a combo cradle/battery charger. I haven't seen one mentioned available here for the Epic 4G Touch and I just found/bought one on eBay and thought I'd mention it for others interested in a device like this. Once I receive the item I can post a review if you guys would like.

Question for anyone that has purchased this dock..
Have you been able to charge your phone with any type of case on it? Thanks.
Just a quick update. I got the charger, but I don't have an Epic 4G Touch yet. The first seller I bought the phone from ended up being from a scammer. I gave the dock/charger to a friend, and bought another one that's already here. I should have the Epic 4G Touch from another seller here by Tuesday and will post my impressions soon after.
Damn, sorry to hear that..
Ok guys...
Im also looking at desktop cradles and found this other one:

$22 (includes shipping):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OTXKK4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3CZ5XR3PIAJMS
It's basically almost the same design as the one the OP linked to. What do you guys think?
I kind of wanted one that you could rest the phone in and charge it with a cover on, but I don't think that's gonna happen.

This one looks nice, but some of the reviews for this brand (for other phones) mentions it covers up the speaker so when the phone is docked the sounds are silenced since the speaker is at the bottom. Although this may be true for all these 3rd party docks.
It's cool, Paypal resolution against the scammer just resolved today and they sided with me and already credited my PayPal account.
---
For that other cradle from Amazon, though you probably can put it on its side I'd be concerned with the side buttons/hitting the desk and possibly being pressed in, and possibly the device itself slipping out. The other concern I have with that model is that I can't clearly see the extra battery charger compartment. The one I got should accommodate extended batteries, but I can't tell on that model.
Found this one... similar

it looks like the one from Amazon just a different brand.. it also covers the speaker so I wonder if you can hear the alarms or music... there may be enough room behind the actual phone to allow the sound to be heard, but it doesnt look like it.
Quick first impressions:
* Feels solid and fits snugly, so pay attention when docking the phone in as it aligns only one way.
* When no battery is in the battery charging slot there's a LED that flashes crazy fast green/red which may bother some people. You can always cover it up with electrical tape. I don't notice it most of the time since my phone blocks the LED anyways when docked.
* A significant negative and quite surprising difference in the dock compared to the docks I had for my EVO 4G / Touch Pro and Mogul are that this dock only has one USB slot. So it either charges the battery and phone from a wall plug or it charges the battery and connects/charges the phone via your computer's USB port. My previous phone docks had 2 USB connectors, one for the battery and one for the phone. I haven't tried connecting this to my computer or charging an extra battery yet but I'm figuring trying to charge two things at the same time via one USB cable, especially when connected to a computer USB port would not be very efficient.
Update 12/09/2011: Argh, deal breaker, just got my Trexcell 3800mah Extended Battery, but because of the location of the battery contact on the battery and dock it won't fit, .
Killabee and talynone
that second black dock is the one I am interested in. my PRIMARY concern with docks that use the charging jack on the phone (whatever happened to dedicated dock "contacts" on phones Cheap SOB's)
is that I want the phone IMMOBILIZED while in the dock. ie I don't want to be able to TILT the phone forward while in the dock "stressing and breaking" the usb jack on the phone.
IE I want the dock to RESTRICT the movement of the phone to vertical only (insert remove dock connector type motion)
the first dock in this thread would NOT prevent the phone from tilting forward.
the second one I am not sure about. do those sides "wrap" around the edge of the phone enough to restrict its movement to a solid slide and NO forward slop?
Here is a video of what I mean. (its processing give it a few minutes to process)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhWtz5EU_Rg
nerys71,
I saw your video and can tell you that the phone in this dock is not restricted from tilting. So yes it will tilt while charging. I am talking about this dock:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OTXKK4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3CZ5XR3PIAJMS
ahh pity. I assume you have it? does the phone protrude past the front "AT ALL" in that dock? IE it looks like it would be friendly to modding it with 2 "lips" on the front to prevent the phone tilting.
Yeah I have it. It doesn't pertrude at all. The phone sits flush.
I just found this on the Brodit homepage:
NEW! Passive holder with tilt swivel
Item no 511377
EAN: 7320285113770
Item no 511377 fits:
HTC One X S720e (For all countries)

Will wait for the active one which I haven't seen out yet. They will hopefully do one with Molex connection too.
I've used this system on about my last 7 or 8 HTC phones and its simply the best.

Does it come in white?
I've previously bought 2 Brodit docks, one passive and one active. Thats about £55 so far. As nice sa they are, I'm not wasting any more money on expensive car docks.
I understand only passive holder is released so far. Brodit normally release active holders a week or so later.
I had the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and used the specific Brodit passive holder for that device. I tried my One X in it and hey presto - it fits that holder too !
Imho, passive portrait docks are no good for the ONE X, the usb charges is on the left and the stereo jack on top. Unless you have a BT car radio, this would look ridiculously stupid if all was plugged.
I have seen this one on ebay, but I am not sure if the quality will be good enough and how hard it will be to fit in the phone and take it out again:

They send from HKG, so it might be worth waiting just a little longer until anybody else makes a decent unofficial car dock...
the active holder is up on that site now

In either case the image would be wrong. I do not see a micro usb connection where the port on the phone is. There is a sort of "block" near the place where the pin connectors are on the phone, but it does not look very well positioned either.
Besides, what do they mean with "active"? I thought that the car mode could be activated only with the pins, not with the usb cable, or am I missing something? I have had this phone for 3 or 4 days, so I might still be missing half of the options

No, you are right, it's as wrong as some of the cheap docking station pics I saw in a docking station thread. Looks really ugly too this mount.

Consider this: The official HTC car holder uses micro USB at the moment. Nothing uses the POGO pins as yet. If the HTC one doesnt even activate car mode then it's a bit of a swizz.
I doubt the brodit one would in any case, but I think they can be modified to do so.
EDIT : Also be aware that the picture of it is just a placeholder as the device in the holder blatantly isnt a HOX

That is interesting news. If there is no contact with the pins there must be something else that is switching the car-mode, or else it would activate even when charging from the wall, which is not the case.
It switches to car mode and also activates Bluetooth too which is convenient for me

How do these compare to the HTC official speaker dock? As they can be had for around £41 if they are similar in terms of sound quality it might be better to get the official one for the pogo pin charging?

It's fine, just remember it's not a dock so it won't sync with anything. It plays music via Bluetooth, has a night light as well and charges phone when connected to dock.
As it's Bluetooth you can connect any Bluetooth device and stream your music, it's loud and sounds good for a mono speaker. Better than on board speaker. I do have a video but my upload speed is poor!
The Philips app is useless so I just connect straight via Bluetooth. I use it at night to charge my phone and as an alarm clock.
For the price it is really good, I was surprised by the sound it produces.

Ive done a little video for YouTube - please dont think i'm stealing any thunder here as thats the last thing on my mind.
However i do want to say a massive thankyou to mugglesquop for revealing this in the first place.
This has the benefit over the other Speaker Dock 'cr s650' in so far as the Philips can bu used with a multitude of phones now and in the future - as long as they have the mini usb ports on them.
Where as only the HTC one X will work with the 650 because of the pogo pins placement and if you upgrade your phone in the future unless its got the exact same layout as the HTC one X then the 650 will be redundant - the Philips though should be better value as even if you upgrade in the future the chances of your new device having a mini usb is high (higher than having the perfect placement of pogo pins i reckon).
EDIT - on a side note when i dock my HTC onto the Philips i have to remove my phone case as the charging port in the Philips wont quite fit snuggly enough to charge.
Soooooo anyone know of any decent gel, silicone, other HTC one X cases that are very thin (but offer protection) that would allow a fit that is more flush with mini usb chargers - thus charging my phone.
I have a MHL adaptor for my TV and on this too i have to remove my phone case otherwise the USB wont fit into my phone quite right - Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Thanks for any suggestions
Excellent video mate I was having troubles capturing the volume but it is loud.
As for case I use a Tourmate case from obostore and it fits with it on, it is similar to the Rock sand cases which are popular.
For the price it's a decent little driver.

Alright mate, quick question. Did you manage to get the dock extension (little plastic thing) to fit properly over the usb so it was flush? I just got mine today but for some reason the dock extension doesn't go down low enough so the phone won't plug in properly, seems to be getting stuck on the little cogs used to raise and lower the height adjusters, would you mine uploading a pic of it?
Cheers
Daven
@daven
The cogs have got to be wound all the way to the bottom - the little attachment will only fit on the usb section in one way i believe - it goes on about 3/4 of the way and the last bit needs to be pushed with a little force to snap it into place.
Ahh thanks, I got it after applying a bit of force. I was worried about breaking it. Nice youtube video, the dock is brilliant, I've found it to work really well with the sony smart connect app (which I also use for my nfc tags). I've set it up to automatically bluetooth connect to the dock and launch dock mode when the phone is docked, and then play music for an hour when I wake up in morning. Sound quality is surprisingly impressive for something so small.
How did you find the official app for it? I found it to be a bit too cumbersome, so just uninstalled it.
I've frozen songbird and Fidelio using titanium back up and i'm manually turning on bluetooth on the HTC one X and using Power AMP as my music player. :good:
I thought for the first day that i was tied to just using the Songbird/Fidelio combo so went with this. :silly:
Came home from work today and started up Power AMP instead and it works brilliantly, you can even change the graphic equaliser and the Philips Dock adjusts too - perhaps this is a feature of all docks,im not sure as this is my first
Im trying to set up something with 'Tasker' at the moment to get the most out of the Dock, though i have got NFC tags too so might have a play later and see what i can come up with
Just purchased one of the Rock Quicksand cases as its very thin but theres still no way it will dock properly to the speaker dock and charge, even after pushing fairly firmly it wont click in so instead ive removed the little plastic adapter that clicks on the USB and now my phone sits just nicely.
Incidentally i tried to sit the HTC One X onto the USB without its plastic adapter but leaving an ordinary gel case on the phone but that wouldnt work so my best bet is to use the Rock case and remove the plastic adapter off the speaker dock.

Just the way I use mine as well. Got the same case as you but Tourmate version. Fits well and protects it too. :thumbup:
